Here we go!

The amazing and underrated guitarist Billy Murre arranged and conducted this GREAT newstalgia LP that just blows me away every time I listen to it. Highly recommended!

This is a soundtrack LP arranged and conducted by “Johnny Williams,” who later went on to become simply “John” Williams of movie music (and Boston Pops) fame. Let me tell you that his earlier stuff, like this LP, is MUCH more interesting than Jaws and Star Wars and all that crap. Good stuff at 99 cents:
